At East Street School, we are having a theme of "Kindness" throughout the year. The entire school will be working on being "bucket fillers". We have a classroom bucket that we will fill through our kind words and actions. There will also be a display in the cafeteria to show how all the classrooms are filling their buckets. Several books have been written about bucket fillers. Carol McCloud wrote a book called "Have You Filled A Bucket Today? (A Guide to Daily Happiness For Kids)". The premise of the book is the idea that we all carry an invisible bucket that contains our feelings. When our bucket is full, we feel great. When our bucket is empty, we feel sad. A bucket filler is someone who says or does nice things for other people. By doing this, they are filling other people's buckets and filling their own bucket at the same time.
